I have experience with these engines as well as designing and manufacturing components for them. Im not able to share my findings because I dont feel it is right of fair for the companies involved. I am 100% confident that the spacing the cover off is a dangerous game to play especially with m3w having face on slots. The route of gear driven cam is a must in my mind for the engine in this application. For motorcycle however a vented cover is acceptable as they normally do much fewer miles and normally only in the dry. The cover on the Hesketh as mentioned earlier combats the water ingress because it uses low pressure air currents to circulate air. This could be achieved on the m3w and I do have designs for that purpose but again they are untested. I am a Mechanical Design Engineer having worked in Automotive and engine design.
